Gifts for Architecture Graduate Students and Professors

($20-$150) Name a well-known world structure and there’s probably a Lego version of it ready to build. Find everything from the White House to the Burj Khalifa. Ones on the upper end of the scale are pretty involved.

($30-40) This 880-page giant was originally published in 1984 but was updated last year. This basically contains everything anyone ever wanted to know about the American home–the history, styles, materials, and influential trends over time.

($45-50) This beautiful book captures the work of modern architect, Richard Neutra, with over 1000 photos of houses, schools, and other buildings he designed. This makes for a really great source of inspiration.

($15-25) An architect scale would make a great grad student or professor gift, but considering many architects already own something basic, this black aluminum version is especially eye catching and will probably become the go-to.
